During the last decade, the paradigm that low toxicant doses often have stimulatory effects on plants has become widely accepted. At the same time, low toxicant doses of metal salts have been observed to inhibit the growth of the most vigorous seedlings of a population in vitro, although mean plant size has remained unaffected. We hypothesized that this kind of selective low-dose toxicity is no...

Penggunaan tanaman dalam bidang farmasi saat ini terus digalakkan. Penelitian terhadap beberapa telah dilakukan, salah satunya herba krokot (Portulaca oleracea L) yang terbukti berkhasiat antibakteri karena kandungan flavonoidnya. Handsanitizer merupakan pembersih tangan memiliki kemampuan menghambat hingga membunuh bakteri. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui efektivitas formulasi e...

BACKGROUND Portulaca oleracea (PO) has been widely used as traditional medicine because of its pharmacological activities. However, the effects of PO on osteoclasts that modulate bone homeostasis are still elusive. METHODS In this study, we examined the effects of PO ethanol extract (POEE) on receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization, nuclear factor o...

According to the survey, wild purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) has two different ecotypes, one with red stem living in an arid environment and green a humid environment. In order explore physiological response strategies of plants environmental changes, these ecotypes were selected as experimental materials. Physiological indices determined transcriptome analysis was carried out screen differen...
